The Biden administration says 31 million people have health insurance because of the law, which also survived two earlier challenges in the Supreme Court.
The law’s major provisions include protections for people with existing health conditions, a range of no-cost preventive services, expansion of the Medicaid program that insures lower-income people and access to health insurance markets offering subsidized plans.
